Soleus H-reflex operant conditioning changes the H-reflex recruitment curve.
INTRODUCTION Operant conditioning can gradually change the human soleus H-reflex. The protocol conditions the reflex near M-wave threshold. In this study we examine its impact on the reflexes at other stimulus strengths. METHODS H-reflex recruitment curves were obtained before and after a 24-session exposure to an up-conditioning (HRup) or a down-conditioning (HRdown) protocol and were compar...
متن کاملOperant conditioning of rat soleus H-reflex oppositely affects another H-reflex and changes locomotor kinematics.
H-reflex conditioning is a model for studying the plasticity associated with a new motor skill. We are exploring its effects on other reflexes and on locomotion. Rats were implanted with EMG electrodes in both solei (SOL(R) and SOL(L)) and right quadriceps (QD(R)), and stimulating cuffs on both posterior tibial (PT) nerves and right posterior femoral nerve. When SOL(R) EMG remained in a defined...
متن کاملThe effect of spinal skin cooling with topical ointment on the recruitment curve parameters of soleus H-reflex
Introduction : There are different applications for cooling in rehabilitation and there is also a controversy in results of applying ice on limb and its effects on motorneurons excitability. Methods : This study was done to determine the effect of applying controlled cooling (rubbing cold ointment with 3°C temperature) on the spinal skin (around T place of S root nerve) on the excitabili...
متن کاملH-reflex operant conditioning in mice.
Rats, monkeys, and humans can alter the size of their spinal stretch reflex and its electrically induced analog, the H-reflex (HR), when exposed to an operant conditioning paradigm. Because this conditioning induces plasticity in the spinal cord, it offers a unique opportunity to identify the neuronal sites and mechanisms that underlie a well-defined change in a simple behavior. To facilitate t...
متن کاملOperant conditioning of primate spinal reflexes: the H-reflex.
The study of primate memory substrates, the CNS alterations which preserve conditioned responses, requires an experimental model that fulfills two criteria. First, the essential alterations must be in a technically accessible location. Second, they must persist without input from other CNS regions. The spinal cord is the most technically accessible and readily isolated portion of the primate CN...
